Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.
David spoke his victory as certain before it came, arranging in his heart what he would do when his enemies lay prostrate. He chose to offer holy mirth in the tabernacle, not feasting in his palace. When prayer is heard, the believer must sing; his music belongs to the Lord alone, not to the vanities of the world.
AI summary
David does not simply declare God's mercy in hindsight; he fortifies himself against doubt by rehearsing what he knows God to be. The saints must wrestle with themselves, driving back the flesh's doubts, so they can pray with speed and cheer. This is how a man recovers from tempest and shouts triumph.
